kubuntu 9.10 very unstable with nvidia drivers
I upgraded my Acer laptop from kubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 some weeks ago, and since them I was having lot of problems, some minor ones, but other actually serious: random hangs, devices that dissapear (specially sound ones but also wifi), and returns again after next reboot, keyboard that does not work anymore, etc.
This morning my patiente runs out after about half of an hour trying to boot the system with everything working without success, so I decide to do a fresh install of 9.10, as sometimes in the past I’ve had problems also with direct upgrades.
Everything was working fine until I installed nvidia drivers, then everything started to fail again.
I’ve no more time to spent with that and actually I do not need to have 9.10 if I can have a 9.04 working as I did. So I simply reinstall 9.04 from its CD.
Now I’ve a strong and stable system AGAIN.
The lesson it’s a classic: if it works, dont fix it. But we forget it from time to time…
